With 2 exclusive technologies, the built-in Tap&Go™ grinder and Temp˚IQ Shot Control system to control temperature, ensure café-quality taste from a handy home coffee machine.

Temp°IQ Shot Control™The exclusive Temp°IQ Shot Control™ 3-way system combines a fast heat-up Thermoblock, gentle pre-infusion for even extraction and advanced PID controller to regulate and deliver optimal, consistent temperature that all work together to create a great tasting coffee.

Perfect all in one machine!The Barista Max consistently makes an amazing cup of coffee whether it is an espresso, a flat white, or whatever you like. It is super easy to operate and the addition of a grinder over its predecessor the Mini Barista made it well worth the upgrade.
The machine also looks great and is quite compact taking up minimal space on my kitchen bench. Getting the grind right took a few attempts but soon enough I was making perfect shots with an impressive layer of crema. The steam wand is very simple to use too. I would definitely recommend this machine.

Love this espresso machine!We have had the Barista Max for a few weeks now and we just love it. It's compact, very easy to use, no fuss to clean but best of all it makes great coffee. We love coffee and have been making mostly long blacks and lattes with this machine and have had success making both, even though we are definitely not baristas! The steam wand works really well to make warm creamy milk for lattes and is easy to clean when you are done. We would definitely recommend this espresso machine if you are looking for great, no fuss coffee at home.

The hero in our kitchenLife is too short for a bad cup of coffee (and tea).
We are really happy that we have met the Sunbeam Barista Max.
Firstly it fits in well in our kitchen - it does take up a bit of bench room but it looks good being silver and is there in the center of everything for all to use.
We are still playing around with the settings a bit just because we can but are very happy with the quality of coffee it is making. We need to practice a bit more on perfecting the milk. The smell of the beans post grind is great too. It's all part of the ritual.
It's also being used to heat and fluff the hot chocolate milk.
With the amount of coffees we make we are very happy that we have this quality, easy to use machine in our world. Even the neighbours are impressed and are popping in more often.

Great coffeeHave had the EM5300 for a week or so now. Found the set up very easy, ready to go in a few minutes, love the built in grinder, very simple to use and quickly found the right setting for the coffee I use, all though first time using did make a bit of a mess with coffee going everwhere, but now know where to fill up to, there is minimal mess
Got a great pour, beautiful crema.
I did find that when I turned the steam wand on it can take a while to heat up sometimes, but besides that you can do great milk on there, and the wand is very easy to clean.
I have found the machine very easy to use and very easy to maintain.
The most import of all you can get a great cup of coffee from this machine, great money saving as now can have coffee at home and not buy outside, now to practise my milk art.

The new guyI still remember the first time I heard the murmur from the kitchen.
There was a new guy apparently in the office.
Strong, powerful, majestic.
You’re the froth to my latte.
I love you Barista Max.

An easy to use machine that is worth the moneyThis machine has a professional feel to it. It is really enjoyable to be a barista at home. You make great coffee by grinding fresh beans and controlling your milk temperature. There is lots of functionality to make sure you get your coffee just the way you like it, but it is intuitive to use. The only downside is that it is larger than average so you need space in the kitchen. I highly recommend this machine for coffee connoisseurs.

Great Machine just a few things to improve!I found it a great machine, easy to use and professional results !
The only thing that really bothers us the lack of a single portafilter so if you use a standard espresso cup it will spill the extraction outside the cup. I really prefer the portafilters with the profesional design and with the single option to.
Other little thing would be nice is an automatic grinding amount.
I really like sunbeam to launch a single portafilter.

Café coffee in my kitchen! (And it’s stylish)I have been trying to decide on a coffee machine for months and I am glad I chose the Barista Max. Coffee that is just as good if not better than my local café and if you are a beginner barista like me, it’s a lot easier than you think. The machine comes with a quick coffee making guide and it’s just that, quick & easy and not overwhelming at all. Excuse me while I google latte art, how to.

Great coffeeSince purchasing this machine about 1 month ago I have tried many settings to get used to it.
I have found it easy to use but the freshness of the beans seems critical to the grind and outcome of extraction. I finally am happy with a consistent crema being achieved.
The steam wand and system make it quick and easy for milk texturing.
Overall I am very happy with this machine.

Impressive for an at-home/office coffee machine!I felt very hesitant having to use an espresso machine in the office for the first time (I was dreading the screeching noise that comes from burning milk). But this machine is so easy to use - I feel like anyone can use it, even if you have no experience using espresso machines. The machine is extremely forgiving for a beginner like myself. In a few short weeks everyone is making coffee like a pro! The machine is compact, takes up such a small amount of space on our counter which is also very helpful.
The integrated grinder is a massive bonus and the clean up using the machine is very simple. My only gripe would be that I wish the utensil for packing the coffee down was heavier, maybe made from metal instead of plastic. Overall though the machine is a great next step from pod-coffee style machines or entry-level machines and would suit any coffee enthusiast who is a little hesitant but eager to upgrade.

Really easy to use espresso machineII had recently been using a coffee machine that had a separate grinder and took up a bunch of space. The Barista Max machine takes up much less space than my previous set up and looks fab on my kitchen bench (love the brushed steel finish).
It was so easy to use for the first time (but it did take a few shots to work out the exact grind setting to use for the coffee beans I had bought). Now I have perfected my grind settings, it produces consistently beautiful espresso’s every time with just the touch of a button - single or double shot.
The steam wand is nice and powerful as well and heats up the milk in no time, leaving me with really smooth milk.
It’s also really easy to clean – the base try lifts out and is able to be popped through the dishwasher. I also love the little grind collection area where I can wipe up any stray grinds away to keep the area nice and clean.
Definitely recommend this machine!

What an awesome machineSuch a great machine, I find it really easy to use. It's great getting up in the morning and making a decent coffee, an awesome way to start the day. It's really easy to clean, the catch try has a great setup for wiping away any coffee granules I accidentally spill, and it looks cool! looks great in the kitchen and the kitchen smells of coffee in the morning, A+.

A Must HaveWith build-in grinder, it saves a lot of kitchen bench space. It is also light in weight which makes it easy to move around. It is comparatively quieter compared to my old coffee machine. The milk steam wand is so easy to clean. The most important thing is that it makes fantastic coffee. It's a bit slow in starting up, but still a quite solid machine.

Fantastic Machine that saves money~!I bought this machine around 3 months ago and boy it is a fantastic machine! Simple to use and definitely has saved me spend $5 a day on coffee from a cafe!
The partner makes a coffee atleast 5 times a day with this machine and he loves it! Will say though that it doesn't fit larger cups! But easy fix get a smaller cup.

Almost perfectWorks really well but a few flaws. Takes a while to find the right grind and there isn’t a guide for it. It also takes time for the steam wand to warm up and can’t be used at the same time as the head and water.
Other than that, it makes great coffee and works well. Overall, really happy with the product.

A step up in great tasting coffeeI am very happy with the machine. It makes a superior tasting coffee than what I was use to, (even better than some cafes around work). I am quite impressed with the rich tasting coffee I can make with it at home day after day.
Dialed in the grinder setting for the beans I use (campos) after a couple of goes. Now it is set up I am making coffees easily and quickly every morning.
I got this machine to replace a second hand Breville express that stopped producing good crema. Decedied to go with Sunbeam Barista Max based on price and the larger handle looked liked it would make a difference in filling with grinds and extracting coffee, I am happy to say I was right.
So good.
Doing the milk is where I see the biggest gain, straight a way I was acieving great milk for my flat white, before I would always getting more foam than I like.
My wife is happy I can continue to make a coffee in her keep cup to go in the mornings. Plus she says the machine’s curves look good in our kitchen.

Easy to use and great coffee!I bought this a month ago and have been enjoying cafe style coffee ever since. Entertaining is much easier and friends have asked about the make and model of the machine, looking to buy for themselves. We adjusted the grind level to around 12/13 and it’s been smooth sailing ever since. Love it!

Love freshly ground beans!Having a grinder would have to be the best start to making great coffee! The large water container is easy to use - unlike many - I can put it under the fllter water tap to refill with no problems and the resulting coffee is just perfect. My only problem is now there is no need to leave home.

Best CoffeeInitially I was hesitant about buying a coffee machine but the thought of sampling different types of blend won me over.
That brought me to EM5300 Barista Max. First off I love the fact that it has an inbuilt grinder. The idea that I don't have to buy a separate grinder is a huge plus. Since it has multiple grind settings, it is extremely useful when you want to sample different types of beans. (some hard, some not so).
Now you might be asking how is the coffee quality? I think it is fantastic... I've been told the group head (where the grounded coffee is compressed) is an industrial size piece so the extraction is optimised. I'm more of an espresso / long black coffee person so I don't really use the milk steaming function but hey when I have guests it's there, so it is a bonus feature to me. Overall the build quality of the machine is fantastic, great metallic colours and very nice addition to my kitchen. Sunbeam, you've outdone yourself. Looking forward to upgrading my other household appliances through you.

Fantastic, easy to use!The functionality and simplicity of the Barista Max is unparalleled. Within 10 minutes of opening the box I had a beautiful homemade latte to give me much needed coffe kick. The machine is easy to use, maintain and has made a fantastic addition to my kitchen. I love it!

Makes a great coffeeI have had this coffee machine for 2 weeks and use it eveyday.
It sits compact on the kitchen bench and so easy to use and clean. My favourite is a latte however my teenager has been making iced lattes and hot mochas. It heats & froths the milk without any fuss.

Great so farHave had for about a month and so far really happy. Making great coffee. Takes a little while to get used to and adjust grinds etc. only downside so far is that it’s fairly messy, especially grinder, and takes up a reasonable amount of bench space
